Here is the chance to own a near museum quality, barn find, rare Lincoln Town Car. The car was originally purchased by an elderly couple who drove it for the first few years. The car was then left to their son who did not like the car so he put the car in his neighbor's barn where it sat for many years. It was started and run every few months but never left the barn. The owner finally just asked his neighbor if he wanted it and so the neighbor bought the car. This owner drove the car for a short time installed new brakes and then decided to put the car up for sale. I purchased the car and drove it from central Illinois to my home in South Bend, In. I had my mechanic go though the car and had the transmission seals changed, the wheel cylinders changed, a leaking power steering hose replaced; changed one of the converters and had a new exhaust system installed. I also just installed brand new Firestone tires all the way around. The pictures do not do the car justice. I have now driven the car almost 2000 miles. I take it on the highway everyday back and forth to work and it drives like a dream. It is truly just like driving a new car back in 1988. It is the signature series which is the middle trim series. You will not be disappointed in any way. Except for the work that has been done recently the car is all original. The a/c which is still on the R-12 system is ice cold. It comes equipped with power steering, brakes, windows, locks, seats, auto lamp and auto dimming; all which work as they are supposed too. The car drives straight as an arrow and cruises effortlessly down the road. The emergency brake even works as it is supposed too. There is no rust on the car and the cloth top looks just like it was installed yesterday. Check out the picture of the top up close, the seams are tight with no fading or tearing. The only thing that does not work as it should is the thermometer in the drivers mirror. It registers about 20 to 30 degrees higher than it should. The clock keeps perfect time.
The only mechanical issue with the car is a tiny, tiny, exhaust leak on the passenger side. It is either coming from the manifold itself or the riser pipe. You can only hear it if there is dead silence in the car. You have to listen for it. You cannot hear it if the windows are open or the air or radio is on. I thought about getting it fixed but I simply do not think it is bad enough to start tearing into engine.
The only cosmetic issue with the car is a small tear about a half inch long. It is not noticeable unless you look for it. I actually did not find it until I got the car home and had it for a few weeks. There are no dings or dents in the body and there is only one very light scratch about 2 inches long on the left rear quarter panel. There is some pitting around the headlights but this is from being driven at highway speeds, every one has them. The paint is glossy and deep. Many of these cars have paint issues on the right side of the hood where the clear coat wears off. This one is near flawless.
I bought this car with every intention of keeping it forever. This is my favorite Town Car. I do not have to sell the car but I have a chance to invest in some real estate and would like a little extra cash on hand. If this car was in a dealer showroom they would be asking anywhere from $12,000 to $15,000. My reserve is set well below the $10,000 mark. I am not asking for a pie in the sky price but would like to make a few bucks on it. If I don't get my reserve I will simply keep it.

Lincoln considering giving cars real names again
Wed, Apr 22 2015Enthusiastic reaction to the Continental concept might be the death knell for Lincoln's alphabet soup of monikers. "Without divulging the future, we're very excited about the Continental name and the attention it's gotten," Ford President of the Americas Joe Hinrichs said to Automotive News. Hinrichs admitted that the current MK names could confuse those not familiar with the models. Hinrichs suggested that one way Lincoln might differentiate itself was to "leverage its heritage." While this is certainly nothing explicit, the talk could be an indication of an upcoming overhaul for the brand's naming scheme. The Continental is set to hit the market next year as a replacement for the MKS as the company makes a major push into China. Lincoln bosses reportedly gave the designers the model name as inspiration for what to create. The brand's health has slowly been improving since former Ford CEO Alan Mulally was ready to completely kill the brand. Last year, a new boss was appointed to the helm, and there were reports of a modular platform under development. Let us know in Comments what Lincoln names you want to see revived. The Town Car is likely the best-known model from the brand after the Continental, and Zephyr has fairly recent history as the brief moniker for the MKZ. Related Video:
Ellen DeGeneres sends up Matthew McConaughey's Lincoln ad
Mon, 29 Sep 2014Lincoln had to have known that when it released its new ad campaign for the new MKC with Matthew McConaughey, it would open itself up to a bit of good old fashioned ridicule. The television commercial was, after all, good for a laugh or two. And true to their mission, talk show hosts haven't missed the opportunity to have a little fun at Lincoln's and McConaughey's expense.
Conan O'Brien was first to send up the television spot, but now Ellen DeGeneres has taken a stab at it too, superimposing herself in the back seat of the compact luxury crossover, downing some pot brownies and generally playing Costello to McConaughey's Abbott. It's worth a watch, if only to see Ellen getting down in her usual, offbeat style.
Lincoln reignites the Navigator with bold concept
Wed, Mar 23 2016The Lincoln Navigator's demise has been greatly exaggerated, and nearly 20 years after it first revolutionized the luxury segment, a new generation of the iconic sport-utility vehicle will again point the way forward for the brand. Previewed by a concept at the New York Auto Show, the new Navigator will hit showrooms next year joining the much-anticipated Continental sedan as Lincoln's twin flagships. The concept is "a very strong" hint of what the production Navigator will look like, Lincoln president Kumar Galhotra said. He's referring to the general appearance of the tall concept, which is confident, creased, and a bit reminiscent of a Range Rover. There are huge wheels, lots of chrome, and "Navigator" spelled out in blocked capital letters over the fender vents. It runs a 3.5-liter EcoBoost V6 making 400 horsepower and will ride on a new chassis, though Galhotra wouldn't offer more details. Oh, and it has gullwing doors. The crowd audibly oohed and aahed when that feature was demonstrated at a preview event in New York, but those are purely for show. They won't be on the production model, Galhotra said, and they're meant to demonstrate the spacious cabin. "The nature of the vehicle is very important ... and it's a great way to showcase that interior," he said. The inside of the concept is an interesting place. It has a rear cargo area that doubles as a closet, complete with shelves that make up a wardrobe management system, and there's a rail running down the middle of the passenger area. A multi-level running board cascades forward when the gullwing doors open, and the six seats are adjustable 30 ways. There are also wifi-equipped touchscreen monitors mounted in the seat backs. Inside and out, the Navigator carries a nautical vibe. It's covered in a soft shade of blue paint, while the interior has blue leather and teak accents. The Navigator concept features some of Ford's semi-autonomous technology, including pre-collision assist with pedestrian detection. The radar-and-camera-based system will look for obstacles in the vehicle's path, warn the driver, and then brake if needed. It also has a 360-degree camera and lane-keeping assist. Look for all of this on the production model. Launched in 1997, the Navigator is one of the original all-American large luxury SUVs – the Cadillac Escalade didn't arrive until 1999.
